Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor Tour & Circle Island Sightseeing

Left Behind, But Great While Aboard

Reviewed by: Lorraine Geseron

The tour was wonderful and well-worth the money. A good overall view. Wonderful companions onboard. Our tour guide, Kanoelani, was very knowledgeable and even stopped at some extra places not on the itinerary. However, at the very last stop before our hotels, she said we had 15 minutes, and when I returned to the parking lot after 12 minutes, the van was pulling away without me!!!! I waved frantically and ran after it, but was not seen. I was stranded, and a woman travelling on my own, with my belongings still onboard. I was quite panicked and didn't know how to get back to town. The van did come back for me after about 10 minutes (she had to find a spot to turn around after another passenger reported me missing), but I was really scared by then. There was no apology from the tour guide, which I did expect, since she left early and did not do a head-count (only 10 on the van). I think the guides should make sure that everyone is there before leaving. It's not a difficult thin

Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner Cruise – 5-Course Steak & Lobster Menu, Polynesian Show & Live Music

Great Cruise

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

This was our second time to Oahu and our second sunset cruise. The first time was with Navatek and that was a nice cruise but we felt that one was overcrowded (we upgraded our cruise on both trips). The cruise on the Star of Honolulu was much more expensive than our upgraded Navatek cruise so we were looking for a much improved experience.

The Star of Honolulu cruise was VERY personal as there were very few people who upgraded to the upper deck package. Matt and Captain Roy were extremely attentive and a pleasure to be around.

Unfortunately it was very overcast and the ocean choppy for our voyage but the dining experience was first class. The jazz show was phenomenal as well.

The coach ride felt like herding cattle, and at the price of our ticket I would expect a more personal form of transportation (I realize a personal car required an additional upgrade, but would have expected something more intimate than a full sized tour bus). There was little to no information given

Do at Beginning of Hawaii Visit

Reviewed by: J & F Nap

Great to do at the beginning of the Hawaii visit. It allows you to see bits of all of Oahu. If you go at the beginning, you'll be able to return to certain cites if you felt you didn't spend enough time there. I personally would have liked to spend more than 15 minutes at the Dole Plantation. Amazing to see how terrain changes on such a small area of land! Tour guide, Greg, was very amusing!

Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor Tour & Circle Island Sightseeing

Very enjoyable

Reviewed by: Stacie K

I would have to say that this tour was great from beginning to end! Pick up was prompt and the guide actually gets out and calls your name so you don't have to worry about not getting on the wrong tour. Our guide who goes by Misty but has the most beautiful Hawaiin name (of course I would massacre it if I tried to spell it) was a fantastic guide. She knew each one of our names within the first 10 minutes and didn't forget the whole day. I have never learned so much or had such a great time on a tour. We saw things that many people don't get to see and we even got to see 2 leatherback turtles and take pictures of them. For lunch we got to eat at Honey's which was very good so that was a nice view to look at while eating. All in all we could not find a fault except for the unexpected weather that made it hard to see the beautiful color of the ocean. I highly recommend this to anyone wanting to see the island!!!!

Great Day on Ohau

Reviewed by: Orlando Resident

We had a wonderful day. Our tour host was wonderful. His knowledge of the islands and their history was very impressive. His attitude was so wonderful and layed back. We had a few delays because of others in our group and he kept the day pleasant. We would not have seen some of the highlights he showed us had we done a tour on our own. Because this was a smaller bus we were only about 20 people which made the tour more personal. I don't think we would have enjoyed it as much had we gone on one of those huge tour buses.
Thanks to Cowboy for a wonderful day.

Hawaii Premier Whale Watching Cruise (Star of Honolulu) ハワイ　プレミア・ホエールウォッチング・クルーズ（スターオブ・ホノルル

Reviewed by: kazz

Before going, I was surprisingly indifferent, thinking I would only catch a glimpse. After boarding, as soon as we set sail, we saw what seemed to be a spout. Then, while enjoying a meal (which was decent) and Hawaiian music, there was an announcement that we could see something at the 9 o'clock position. From there, it was amazing—two whales performed for about 20 minutes. I was so moved! Thank you very much. I might say it was just luck that I got to see them, but I am very satisfied.

行く前は意外と冷めていましてどうせチラッと観える位だと想って乗船、出港してすぐ潮吹きらしいものが、その後なんとなく姿らしきものが、食事（まあまあ）しながらハワイアン気分の音楽など楽しみながら居ると９時方向に観えるとのアナウンス、それからがもう大変２頭のショーが約２０分、
感激です！有難う御座いました、たまたま観れたと言えばそうなのかもしれませんが満足です。

The mother and baby whales were adorable. 親子鯨が可愛かったです。

Reviewed by: mauburu

Once again this year, I had a wonderful time. At first, I heard the conditions were perfect, but unfortunately, I couldn't encounter them! In the evening, I was able to enjoy a cruise off the coast of Honolulu on the famous "Star of Honolulu," which included warm coffee. However, since I had a re-boarding coupon, I decided to give it another try the day before my return! I'm glad I did.

Seeing the whales swimming happily together was truly moving. When the ship was about to leave after the promised 30 minutes, the whales came close to the ship as if to say goodbye.

There were also ukulele performances and cultural activities, but I completely forgot about those and just enjoyed the experience.

I definitely recommend participating. After disembarking, you can climb the adjacent "Aloha Tower" for free, where you can enjoy a stunning view. (There’s also an old-fashioned elevator!)

昨年に続き、今年も楽しませていただきました。
最初は、絶好の条件！とのことでしたが残念ながら
遭遇できず！夜はディナーで有名な「スターオブホノルル」号で、暖かいコーヒーが付いたホノルル沖のクルーズと割り切ってしまうことも出来ましたが、
再乗船のクーポンを頂いていましたので、帰国前日にチャレンジ！　　最乗船して良かったです。
親子で、仲良く泳ぐ鯨の姿にもう感動でした。
３０分とのお約束があって船がその場を離れようと
していると、別れを惜しむかのように船のすぐ
そばまで寄ってきてくれました。

ウクレレや例のカルチャもあるのですが、
そんなことには、すっかり忘れて楽しみました。

ぜひ、参加をお勧めしたいです。
下船後は、無料で登れますので、隣接の「アロハタワー」に登ってみてください。絶景が楽しめますよ。（年代もののエレベータもあります）

Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner Cruise – 5-Course Steak & Lobster Menu, Polynesian Show & Live Music

Unique Experience

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

This was a unique experience for me because I have never been on any sort of cruise ship before. Although the waves were a little choppy, overall I had a great time. The food is great (one star), service is good, and the atmosphere is satisfying. Just a little advice for all the couples out there who want a special "one-on-one" type of evening, spend the extra money to get a table for two. If not, you may end up sharing a table with another couple. I lucked out and the couple that was supposed to show, didn't. This is also a type of outing that is geared more towards tourists. So this may not be so entertaining for many of the locals. It also does get a little chilly, so bring some sort of jacket (for the men), or a jacket/shawl (for women). Overall, I enjoyed the quality and experience this activity had to offer. I would definitely do it again sometime.

We would definitely recommend this cruise. The food was delicious. We saw many whales and one of them even jumped out of the water. It was amazing. There is a lot of space on the ship to spread out and see the whales from many perspectives (I think it holds over 1000 people). And the crew kept us entertained with Hula lessons, lea making, and ukulele lessons. We have a toddler and there was plenty to keep her entertained and happy as well.

I saw a whale. 鯨が見えた

We participated as a family of five on New Year's Eve. We were blessed with clear weather, and it was a fun cruise. When the captain spotted a whale, there was an announcement, and while looking in that direction, we were able to see the whale's spout and back several times, and finally, we also saw its tail, which was great. The food was quite delicious as well. However, while the adults were fine, the children took motion sickness medication, but two out of three of them got seasick. In the latter part of the cruise, they served ginger juice, which helped a bit, but I think it would have been better if it had been offered a little earlier.

大晦日家族５人で参加しました。
晴天にも恵まれ楽しいクルーズでした。
キャプテンが鯨を発見すると場内アナウンスがあり、その方向を探していると鯨の潮吹きや背中が何回か見ることができ、最後に尻尾も見えよかったです。

ただ大人は大丈夫でしたが、子供は酔い止めを飲んで参加しましたが３人中２人は船酔いしてしまいました。クルーズの後半ジンジャージュースを出してくれ少しよくなりましたが、もう少し早く出してくれるともっと良かったと思います。

As a result, I chose the early morning plan, but unfortunately, I couldn't see the dolphins. (It was just bad luck.)

However, I was able to interact closely with the turtles and enjoy snorkeling! Above all, Peter, the local staff member, was very fluent in Japanese, provided excellent explanations, and was wonderful in his responses. We were able to chat during the transfer, and I was very satisfied with the experience.

As a side note, during the transfer from the hotel to the site, I was able to see the high school that President Obama attended and the Hitachi tree, and the staff during the transfer were also very good.

If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I think I will choose this plan again.

結果としては早朝プランにしたがイルカにあることは出来なかった。（これは運が悪かった）

しかし、亀にはすぐ近くで触れ合うことができたし、

I didn't have high expectations for the food, but the warm drinks (self-service with free drinks) and the meals were warm and delicious. Besides seeing whales, there were activities like lei-making, ukulele classes, and hula lessons, so even if we didn't see any whales, we could still enjoy the cruising and activities. During our trip, it seemed like we encountered a mother and calf whale, and they were frequently surfacing for air. (Unfortunately, we didn't get a clear view of their heads or tails...) However, most of the explanations were in English, and sometimes the Japanese announcements were delayed or omitted. Still, the staff was cheerful and bright, shouting "Whale!" Overall, you can enjoy the cruising experience by itself.

ただ殆どの説明が英語で日本語の案内が遅くなる事や日本語の説明が抜ける事もしばしば・・・

Makani Catamaran Day Sail on Oahu - Waikiki & Diamond Head Cruise with Full Bar and Transportation

We did the Makani Catamaran breakfast day cruise as a family and it was one of the most relaxing activities we did in Hawaii. The views were beautiful and the crew was extremely accommodating and informative when we had questions. We were there in late December so we were hoping to see whales & turtles but only saw dolphins, but the dolphins were delightful, they were spinner dolphins and they gave us a show and also swam right alongside the catamaran so we were able to see them very close up and get pictures. My kids are 15 & 20 so they also enjoyed it. There was a family with a young child and he seemed to do well, but if you have children that do not like to be somewhat contained for 2 hrs or are prone to getting out of control I would not recommend it for them. This is not a place for toddlers and small children to be running around. I would do this cruise again if we went back and I highly recommend it to others.
